Hi Dan and Bjorn,
thank you both for your detailed answers on this thread.

Hi Bjorn,
my have a new USB 3G modem sold in Czech Republic by T-Mobile. So
far it works for me only using the option driver and pppd. The
'qmi-network /dev/cdc-wdm0' does not work for me. Maybe it has no
QMI interface ('modprobe qmi_wwan' does not log any new device
found through dmesg but maybe that is because it is already claimed
by cdc_ncm driver)? I haven't seen the virtual CD-ROM associated
media errors with my old Huawei E372. I believe I can ignore them
but is that because of the modem firmware being ... suboptimal?
BTW, usb_modeswitch used to log that it flipped a device. Isn't
this needed anymore?
Dont' know. Your log shows that the device is switched from 12d1:15ca
to 12d1:1506. I assume that is usb_modeswitch doint its job:
you are right, I forgot it is not logged in dmesg, here are the lines from syslog:

And the last part here shows that your modem has a Huawei specific NCM
interface, handled by the huawei_cdc_ncm driver. This is not a QMI
modem.
The huawei_cdc_ncm driver also provides a /dev/cdc-wdm0 device, but this
device speaks AT commands, not QMI. You can use the /dev/cdc-wdm0
device with Huawei specific commands like AT^NDISDUP etc. Google that
or use a ModemManager supporting it (not sure about the status here,
though...).
Interface Descriptor:
bLength 9
bDescriptorType 4
bInterfaceNumber 1
bAlternateSetting 0
bNumEndpoints 1
bInterfaceClass 255 Vendor Specific Class
bInterfaceSubClass 2
bInterfaceProtocol 22
iInterface 8 CDC Network Control Model (NCM)
The string descriptor is right. 255/2/22 is one of the
class/subclass/protocol sets Huawei use for their vendor specific NCM
variants.
OK, thank you, so I will stay with pppd talking to ttyUSB0 at 460800 baudrate. It
is puzzling Huawei sells a different hardware. I thought I could go with my old
setup for Huawei E372 ..., well does not really matter.
